according to revised constitutionby Tina Gaudino
Nine members of SAC are ineligible to retain
their positions because they failed to fulfill their
academic requirements, SAC President ShawnReed told Coven.At Tuesday's SAC meeting, Reed told the
council that Humber College administration
would be enforcing the SAC constitution whichdemands members maintain a 60 per cent aver-
age, and be a full-time student.
**As of this point there are nine people whocannot go on...,** said Reed after the meeting.
Humber College President, Robert Goidonsaid Wednesday, he is studying the situation, andwould examine the constitution.
'No decision has been made but certainly**i
something will be done,*
' Gordon said. ' *This is a
serious matter... it*s serious because it concerns
more than one person."
The SAC constitution states a member musthave at least 60 per cent in the most jecendy
completed semester, and maintain that average
throughout their academic term served on coun-
cil. SAC members must also carry a full course
load.
The constitution was revised in July 1988, to
include this policy.
Gordon, met with Reed, Director of Student
Life Rick Bendera, Associate Director of StudentLife Elizabeth Ganong, and Vice-President ofEducation and Faculty Services, Roy Giroux,
Wednesday.
Gordon would not conmient on the specifics ofthe meeting, but added they would be
*
'seriously
studying the situation.'*
Following the meeting, Reed said ''the matter
has been taken out of my hands.
**As of now, nine members are off council.'*
Reed refused to disclose the names and titles ofthe members in question, but added they shouldbe available next week. He said each case will beevaluated individually, but said he was told thosewho are part-time students are **definitelygone.'*
This announcement comes one day prior to
nominations for next year's student's council.

February might be the last
chance for students to sign up to bebartenders in Britain, Englishteachers in Japan or banana pick-
ers in Australia.
Deadlines for the half-dozen
work-abroad programs being
offered through Humberts Place-
ment Centre are just arojnd the
comer. Registration dates for
some programs such as the Inter-
national Association for the Ex-
change of Students for Technical
Experience, have already passed.
Placement Centre co-ordinator
Karen Fast said interest amongstudents in woiicing holidays over-
seas has been on the increase. ThePlacement Centre sponsored a
work-abroad forum in Novemberwhere representatives from the
most popular programs— Student
Work Abroad Program^ Canadian
University Service Overseas andCanada World Youth — handedout brochui^s and showed videos.
But past experience shows that
students leave registration until
the last minute, said David Smithof SWAP, which is run by the
Canadian Federation 6f Students.
'^Students tend to hold off till
February," Smith said.
SWAP is gearing up to handlethe crush of applications that are
expected in the next few weeks.Fast recommends students pick
up applications from the Place-
ment Centre as soon as possible.
Different organizations havedifferent turn-around times. Prog-
rams like SWAP will process ap-
plications in about a week while
others can take months.Students wishing to work
abroad should investigate eachprogram very thoroughly. Fast
said.
**Pick up an application andread it cover to cover," Fast
added. "There are costs. I wouldcall the company and get someinformation from someone who'sactually been there."
Most programs have non-refundable registration fees andsome require students to have sup-
porting funds of $1,000 or more.
The type of job, length of stay
and cost vary considerably be-tween programs. Canada WorldYouth offers students age 21-25 achance to work on communityprojects in the Third World. Stu-
dents must raise $500 in their ownfunds to qualify. Projects can last
as long as seven months. Orga-nizations like CUSO and World

SWAP is the most popularprogram because it operates in
countries like Britain, Japan andAustralia and offers programs that-
normally last just for the summer.SWAP will assist students in find-
ing jobs and places to live in their
host country. Most take office
jobs.
"There is more of a market for
short-term employment overseasfor college students because oftheir practical education," Smithsaid. "For instance, there is a de-mand for trained word processors
in both Ireland and Britain. Stu-
dents with communications back-ground can teach English in
j£4>an.
More than 2,000 students will
take aSWAP working holiday this
summer. About 40 per cent ofthose will be from colleges like
Humber.Smith said some advantages to
SWAP start once the students gethome. Canadian employers thinkhighly of woik-abroad programs.Movement towards a global eco-nomy means that Canadians withinternational experience will be in
demand in the future.
The deadline for Canada WorldYouth's program, financed by thefederal government, is Feb. 28.Deadlines for SWAP vary accord-ing to destination, but most ap-plications are due by March 1

Faculty faces
higher costsby Daniel H. Lee
Longer delays and higher costs
in printing forms, exam papers,
bodes and other materials for the
college faculty are expected, says
the supervisor of the print shop at
Nordi campus.
Albert Venditello said becauseQueensway A campus is closing ^
down, more people will be com-ing up to the Noith campus whichwill generate even more printing
activity.
"The larger work will have to
go outside because we won't haveany time to do it here," he said.
"When you get large jobs that tie
up the machines for two or three
days, it just backs up all the smal-
ler stuff."
The printing problems will also
affect the Lakeshore and Osiercampuses for which the print shopdoes woik for.
Fred Chan, the supervisor's
assistant, said currently the capac-ity of the machinery and the peo-ple woricing here just can't copewith it.
"Now almost every job that
comes in is a rush job and a lot of
big jobs come in," (Than said. "Alot of times we're really strug-
gling. That's why we're always a
week or two behind.
Chan added many problems are
caused by the photocopiers break-
ing down. He also said sometimeswhen teachers don't scheduleprinting jobs with enough leewaythe output becomes delayed.
Venditello estimated it wouldcost the college between 30 to 40per cent more to send the work to
outside companies than if the
wofk could be done at the print
shop.

U.S. teacher's comments refutedby Michelle Shannonand John Powell
Many of the college's staff andstudents are upset over commentsmade by an American exchangeteacher that they are more 'naive,
parochial and provincial* thantheir U.S. counterparts.
Andrew Weber, who teaches at
Catonsville College in Baltimore,
Md. and was here on an exchangelast semester, was quoted as
saying in the latest edition ofComment, Humber's in-housemagazine that Humber's students
were getting more hands-on train-
ing than instruction in abstract
concepts.
He was also quoted as saying
Humber students are unable to
write, or do research for essay
papers.
Carl Eriksen, dean of Appliedand Creative Arts division at
Humber College, reacted with an-
ger and indignation to Weber'sconunents.
'*I wouldn't expect an educatorto make vast generalizations with-out any basis in fact," Eriksensaid. "I feel that the statement in
itself is a naive statement."
Students seemed to share Erik-
sen's opinion.* 'This teacher should tend to his
backyard before he tends to
ours," said third-year GraphicAlts student Mark Dwyer.
John Rupcic, a first-year Jour-
nalism student said: "If people
want a more ceretod education in
Canada, they go to university and
ifthey want a practical one they goto college.
But Jason Ochoski, 19, whowas in Weber's introduction to
sociology course defended him.
"I thought he really liked being
here," Ochoski said. "I got a lot
Help centre needs fundsby Andrew Joseph
Fears have arisen that budgetrestraints could bring about tfie
closure of the Learning Develop-ment Centre.
Aldiough die centre receives noRKMiey directly from th^ govern-
ment, it does get a small but woik-able budget fiom Humber.
* 'The government does not give
funding to the college for rem^ialstudies," said Sheila Su^ini, the
centre's co-ordinator. "We do get
funding from the college, but it's atrifling amount. However, we'reafraid that the budget will be cut
and since the centre is a peripheral
service, it will be the first to go.
"
fears unfoundedRoy Giroux, vice-president of
Educational and Faculty Services,
said those fears are somewhat un-
founded.
"As far as I know, there is no
plan to eliminate those important
services...but they'll be scruti-
nized like everything else."
The main problem causing fis-
cal restrictions is Humber's slow
growth in enrolment. Because the
numbers are down, government
funding to the college has also de-
creased.''We receive funds based on en-
rolment,"Giroux said. "UnfcMtu-
nately, Humber's growth rate is
climbing at a slower rate relative
to other conununity colleges. All
of the fringe areas of Humber will
probably be affected."
The average rate of growth for
Ontario's community colleges is
known to be four per cent. Hum-ber's is just over one per cent.
Since the growth rate determines
how much funding a college will
receive, simple mathematics fe-
veals that Humber will be receiv-
ing three per cent less fuiKling than
the average ccHnmunity college.
With about 300 students to cater
to, 16 &iglish faculty membersworic with the centre to help teach
people how to read and write
effectively. Devices such as in-
structive text books, audio record-
ings and computers are all used to
determine how best to help an in-
dividual with poor languageskills.
Chris Pericins, an English co-<^
student from the University ofWaterloo who is woricing at the
centre, said the average high
school graduate possesses a read-
ing level of Grade 10.
"It's a bit insulting but true."
Some Humber teachers believe
the grammar and reading ability of
students is abysmally low. Some
members of the centre mnnt dieir
fingers towards die high schools,
who they think are not doing the
best job possible to teach English
properly to students.
communication"We feel the centre is not just
for people who need help with
their essays, but for anyone whofeels their communication abili-
ties aren't up to snuff," said Per-
kins.
"As far as I can see, colleges
have a great diversification of En-glish language skills," said
Giroux. "Humber College tries to
separate and channel tlrase with
difficulties to places such as the
LDC, where they can be properly
aided. Therefore, I think the LDCserves a valuable role."
Susini thinks they are doingboth the students and the college a
great service.
"We actually make money for
the college," she said. "We help
the students pass their courses so
they'll come back and pay tuition
next year."
SharcHi Connolly, a student andfrequent user of the centre, said:
"I always come out here feeling
more confident. They've helped
me a lot."
HClOO sticks it outby Maria Mendez
With tired eyes and a sore
throat, Joe (Snoman) Rosi wasable to stick it out for the fidl 100
hows on-air in HClOO's fundrais-
ing drive for the Ronald McDo-nald House.
The Radio Broadcasting prog-
ram dedicated a good chunk of
their time in raising over $4,000 in
dcNoations.
However, since Monday, the
total amount of collected dona-
tions hasn't reached the station's
$10,000 goal.
Humber students had the oppor-
tunity to listen to various perfor-
mers last week including such
prominent artists as Paris Black
and Gordon £)eppe of the Spoons.
Camera crews from City-TV
and Maclean-Hunter Etobicoke
were on hand to cover the well-
deserved cause.
Rosi was Imndcast live over the
CBC, CKEY-590, WVBR-FM, a
university radio station in NewYork as well as CKO and CFNY.CKO's Steve Anthony com-
mended Rosi for staying awakefor 100 hours.
On the last day, Rosi said: "Wewanted the school to know about
the station. The rest of Canadadoes, but we're still not sure if the
whole school does and that's the

housed children fnnn the ages ofsix days to 26 years.
Program Director Reg Middelsaid "the marathon went smooth-
ly with no unexpected complica-
ticms."
A volunteer for Ronald McDo-nald House Faye Ryckman was at
a collection boodi in front of die
bookst<Mie, answering questicms
about Ronald McDonald House.
Ryckman said the house is ran
by 100 volunteers and assists
nuunly children with cancer.
' 'Our house is the only one that
is strictly for cancer," she said.
Ryckman said this is the first
time a college has tried to raise
money for the House through
radio and thinks it's a "great
learning expctietice."
"I think it's absolutely fabu-
lous," she said.
Ryckman said in tfie near fu-
ture, the organization hopes to
<^n another house in Toronto i
that will deal with a variety dis-
eases and not just cancer.

from the course, and he taught us alot about ourselves.
Humber President Robert Gor-don said of Weber's conunents
diat his use of the wmds "naive,
parochial, and provincial" waslike waving a red flag in front ofanang,'y bull.
"This is onlv one commentfrom a visiting American, whichpeople should take with a very
large grain of salt," G(Mdon said.
However, Gordon said there
was a lot of trath to what Webersaid. He said Humber students
need to learn more about Canadaand die world. But he said the
blame for this lack of knowledgedoes not lie with the students.
"It's not the young people's
fault. . .it's the fault of what we'vebeen giving them in the curri-
culum."Gordon said he doesn't think
tfiat Weber spoke out of turn.
"It's an open, democraticcountry. He can say whatever hewants," Gordon said.
Gordon admits that the Cana-dian education system has its
problems, but he also pointed out
that "if he (Weber) took the trou-
ble to examine in a wider perspec-
tive all of the people he interacts
with, back where he comes from,
he would find the same issues."
Weber, when contacted recent-
ly at Catonsville College said that
it wasn't his intention to makeHumber seem inferiw to U.S. col-
leges. He said his conunents werenot judgments, but merelyobservations.
"A lot of the quotes used in
Comment were not my ownwords, but were other people's in-
terpretations," Weber said.
He said he was sorry that hedidn't have the time to clear up the
misinterpretations made by Com-ment. Weber had to leave for
home two days after the article
af^pcared.^
Weber said the mixup was un-lOitunaie.
"I had a really good time at
Humber, and I really liked the stu-
dents."

Valentine's DayValentine^s Day without a shadow of a doubt spreads love in the
air like any good virus spreads germs.
When- you're with that special someone just think, that person
could be Mr. or Mrs. Right. Valentine's Day is traditionally
known as a time of love and affection but thousands of lonely
people will spend the day heartbroken and alone.
Take for example one fateful Valentine's Day in the early
thirties, when 12 unfortunate fellows met an untimely death in the
St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Make sure your Valentine's Daydoesn't turn out to be that stressful.
Special days are known to be stressful. Just look at Christmas,
when many distressed individuals take their lives in an effort to
relieve the heartache and loneliness supposedly brought out bythese festive occasions.
So don't be afraid to go out and find love (it sure is the time for
it) but also keep this in mind when locking for that special someone—LOVE HURTS, LOVE BITES. It's not all sunshine and roses,
but it's often worth it. i
Letters to the editorTo the editor:
Gee, that's so nice of the Coun-cil of Student Affairs to only raise
our activity fees by seven dollars
instead of the proposed $17.
They were all set to stick stu-
dents with the $17 increase, but
reconsidered when they realized
that it wouldn't be accepted by the
Board of Governors. It seemsCSA is more concerned with howthey look to BOG than to the stu-
dents it's supposed to represent.
Endorsing a fee grab of 16 per cent
(more than the current inflation
rate) is to ignore the economicplight of students who are, in
many cases, on limited or fixed
incomes that are not indexed to the
inflation rate. To even consider a
rate hike of over 35 per cent is not
only out of touch witfi Humber's
student population, but also with
reality.
Geoff Chambers3rd year Joumalism

To the Editor
Many students seem upset over
the increase in student activity
fees. In a letter to the editor last
week in Coven, a third-year
General Arts and Science student
voiced his anger over the increase
in fees. Although some of his
points were valid, a few need to beaddressed.
First, where was Mr. Feinberg
when the issue of the increase in
fees,was brought up? Perhaps it is
true that Humber is lacking in
school spirit, and pertiaps the cur-
rent approach taken by the SAC to
rejuvenate school spirit needs to
be re-vamped. But if the activities
planed by our council were not a
success, why are they still plan-
ning them? If their attempts are in
vain, then why is no one telling
them?
As a joumalism student, one of
the first things taught by instnic-
tors is not to editorialize or assumeanything. The stand taken by Mr.Feinberg is understood andappreciated, but for the most part,
he has assumed too much.In case you are unaware, Mr.
Feinberg, Humber has one of the
best curriculums of any Canadiancollege. Humber is one of the
largest and most successful in
placing its students in jobs of their
program. I did not attend Humberbecause I was turned down byother colleges or universities.
Actually, it was quite the opposite— I turned them down!

Re: Tanya Fuller's opinion "Mur-der for murder questioned
I agree with a number of her
points. I cannot agree with her
statement ' 'Do we want to take the
chance of killing someone simply
because he or she could not afford
the best lawyers?". In Ted Bun-dy's case he did have the best
lawyers. The appeal's process for
the Bundy case cost the Florida tax
payers $6 million.
Also, it costs Canadian tax
payers $40,000 to $50,000 a year
to house these "monstrosities"
who live better on the inside than
than the "wodcing poor" live onthe outside. Can we buy a pack ofsmokes for $1.25? They can in
Ontario's correctional system.
These people, if that's whatthey're called, have chosen their
lifestyle. Let them suffer the con-
sequences.

Re: Video game exploits women/Feb. 2
GIVE ME A BREAK! I can't
believe such a fuss is being madebecause women are in this game.First, I'll start by saying that gamehas been there since fall '87. I
know. I used to play it. What does
Dorothy Murdoch mean by "still
on campus"? Honey, don't tell
me you tried to get rid of it. Ifyoudid, it doesn't show.
Also, does gender really mat-
ter? All violence is bad. Does this
mean society condones violence
between two men (or more)?People, it's only a game— not
to mention in real Ufe women are
violent too (Nice whip, chick).
Yes, you can say in basics it is
"primitive" as far as sex role
models, but that's it.
If this issue is just coming out
now, the case is lost because it
appears to have a public okayshown by a clear one and a half
year record.

Is Morgan Ian Adams a newsreporter or a fashion critic? In a
recent issue of Coven (Jan. 26)
Adams described in great (and
b(Ming) detail his meeting with the
minister for Colleges and Univer-
sities. You'd assume a reporter,
from a college which has been hit
hand by cutbacks in governmentspending, would have the brains
to ask ^e minister to defend her
govemnnent's tight fisted fiscal
policies or perhaps grill her about
rising tuition costs. Instead,
Adams ignores a story of signifi-
cance to all students in favor of
indulging his own ego with an
opinion piece on the minister's
fashion sense. Perhaps in the fu-
.
ture. Coven should send out repor-
ters who aren't afraid to ask the
tough questions rather than hackslike Adams, who are content to sit
in awe of an elected official, while
the real story passes them by.

Re: "Croation students preserve

I would like to duuik Coven for
its coverage of the newly formedHumber Croatiui Students Asso-ciation.
There is however one error in
Lisa Boonstc^>pers story.
The Canadum Croatian Student
Federation, Humber Croatian Stu-

odier Canadian Croatian Student
Federation member associations
from eight post-secondary institu-
tions, have as one of their consti-
tutional objectives the preserva-

academic imd social means. IneCanadian Croatian Student Fed-
eration also includes a strict pcriicy
of n(Hi-alliaiice to which all asso-
ciations must adhere. This, along
widi die fact that no Yugoslavian
culture or language exists, makesthe repcMler's statemmt that die
HCSA has "ties widi the Yugosla-

misrepresentative, and in fact,
irresponsible.

We are vmting to express our con-
cern over lack of enforcement
of the non-smoking regulations
within Humber College.
The issue was drawn to our
attention last Friday when we vi-
sited Caps. Where is the non-
smoking section in the pub? Thereare several booths designated non-
smoking, but they are frequented
by people who do not hesitate to
fill the air with noxious fiimes.
Why are non-smoking signs
posted if the policy is not en-
forced? Even without the health
hazards the smokers create, wewere informed by Caps staff that
smoking in the booths constitutes
a fire hazard!
The lack of enforcement of the
non-smoking policy is not unique
to C^p&. The general apathy re-
garding te policy is prevalent
throughout the college. In the Stu-
dent Centre, for example, smok-ers are rarely forced to *butt out',
even though non-smoking signs
are posted.
Designating Humber College as
a smoke-free environment is ai
marvelous idea, but completely
futile if the non-smoking areas are
not enforced as such. As non-

Gag laws curtail right to freedom of speechby Tanya Fuller
A controversy has arisen at tiie
University of Toronto concerning
a column that appeared Jan. 3 1 . in
The Underground, a U ofT news-
paper. Darryi McDowell, the au-
thor of the offending article, took
an extremist q>proach to joumal-
isni by calling unspecified mem-bers of the U of T community''black supremacists".
This prompted another student,
Roluid Paris, to complain to the
university's president, in an
attempt to persuade administra-
tion to "play a more active role to
promote non-racist, non-degrading material".
Now, without supporting the
opinion of McDowell, i think it is
necessary to suf^Knt his right to
exfMess it. At Humber, the student
newspaper is considered a labora-
tory. In other words, it is the vehi-
cle by which we novice journalists
get a chance to screw up without
permanently damaging our repu-
tation in the 'real worid*.
That does not mean we are not
held responsible for what we
write. We can be threatened by a
law suit just as easily here as any-
where else. And rightly so. No-one should be allowed to take un-
fair advantage of his or her access
to a public forum, and usually, noone does.
By the same token, no oneshould abuse power. Unfratunate-
ly, that is exactly what Paris is
encouragingU ofT administiaticm
to do.
In the thirties, the Social Creditgovernment of Alberta tried toabuse power in exactly the sameway. The 'gag law', as it was cal-led, would have given govern-ment officials the right to rideherd on the content of Albotannewspapers. If passed, it wouldhave allowed administration toveto any story they wished, censorany reporter whose w(xk annoyedthem, and write a rebuttal to anyinformation they disliked but didnot choose to censor.
Three years for three lives
Is society protected?
by Karin Winzer
. **...makes the justice
system appear to be afarce.**
In a recent Sunday Sun, a head-line read 'Eyes of a Killer' and the
story referred to a teenage murder-er who was released last week.
The controversy that stemsfrom the release of this teen is over
the Young Offenders Act im-plemented in 1985.
The Scarborough youth, whocommitted a triple murder, wasgiven a maximum three-year sent-
ence under the YOA and released.
To think a person could commitsuch a hideous crime and only beincarcerated a mere three years
makes thejustice system appear to
be a farce.
The Juvenile Delinquents Actof 1908 pleaded that kids whoconmiitted crimes were more dis-
turbed than criminal, and shouldbe treated as "misguided and mis-directed" (JDA S.38). The JDAfocused on rehabilitation and re-
lease after the offender wasproven ready to return to society.
The YOA is based on the ideas
of responsibility, accountability
and the protection of society.
The YOA believes the youngoffender should be held responsi-
ble for his crimes, but not neces-
sarily accountable. The act's aimis to ultimately protect society.
The YOA provides that a youdi
found guilty ofa crime can only besentenced a maximum of three
years. Then the person can be re-
leased and records of the crimecan't be made public unless die
person commits a crime as anadult.
However, if the youth is held to
be responsible and accountable for
a crime, perhq>s three years is tooshort a sentence. Not only that,
but if the YOA is to protect socie-
ty, the fact that the offender's
name and other information can-not be made public goes against
the mandate to protect society.
Not only that, but experts on the
Scarborough youth's case say hehas not reformed and is still a dan-ger to society. Why was he re-
leased if his doctors feel he mayconunit another such act?
It seems that since the case first
went to trial under the then fledg-
ling YOA, that nothing has beendone to amend the act or to keepthe young offender from his in-
evitable return to society.
In December, the spark of con-troversy was brought to light asthe clock ticked toward the day ofhis release. But why did it take solong?
Identity secret
the JDA was in effect. Now he hasbeen released.
Isn't the justice system s\ip-
posed to protect society? Isn't it
the mandate of the courts that the
punishment fit die cjime?Is three years for taking the
lives of three people enough?
ri^t to ride herd on die content ofAlbertan newspapers. It allowedadministration to veto any story
they wished, censor any repcMter
whose work annoyed diem, andwrite a rebuttal to any information
tfiey disliked but did not choose to
censor.
Luckily, this ugly little piece oflegislation was soon overturnedby the Alberta Supreme court, be-
cause it violated freedom ofspeech. Otherwise, the StNcial
Credit government might still bein power there, after ensuring that
negative commentary on its poli-
cies was killed before evenreaching the presses.
umsihicai
I can not help but draw parallels
between the gag law, and the im-
pending situaticMi at U of T. Themost surprising part of this story,
to me, is that Paris himself writes
for another university paper. TheVarsity. As a journalist, Paris
should know that what he is
embarking upon is unethical. In-
stead of scampering off to tattle to
administradon, he should be en-
couraging the damaged parties to
sue the Underground. Tliat is the
way it works in the sue-h^py'real world' , thank god, and that is
also the way it should work in a
student environment. Enough lawsuits will soon force the Under-ground either to fold, (excuse die
pun), or edit its editorial policy.
Otherwise, Paris is lobbying tosuppress his own freedom ofspeech -- if he ever allowed him-self any in die first place.
propaganda
Unfortunately, as U ofT's pres-ident told The Toronto Star, dieuniversity affairs committee is
studying a proposal to consider apolicy diat would require "codesof conduct for school newspap-ers". Scary. Perhaps, widi that
ambiguous wording, negativecommentary on administrativepolicy would be considered out-side the code of conduct. In thehands of an unscrupulous admi-nistrator, (doesn't happen yousay? Ha!), diat could easily beconstrued.
The Varsity calls itself "Theofficial student voice of the Uni-versity of Toronto". If a code ofconduct is unposed to restrict its
editorial policy, will diat make it
die official propaganda voice ofUofT?
Hopefully, this is not a questionthat will arise at Humber. I write
terrible propaganda.
Tale of torturous transit
and metallic scavengersfe'
People who knew the youth
have lived in fear, as his return to
society crept closer. His namecannot be released, he can live
where he wants, and his identity is
kept secret even though he is a
convicted killer and experts say he
is not ready for release.
During the trial both the pro-
secuting and defending att(Mneys
argued that the teen should befound guilty by reason of insanity
and therefore his term of confine-
ment would have been indefinite.
However, the judge ruled the de-
fendant understock the nature of
his crime and was therefore fit to
stand trial.
The case was not moved to
aduh court as it might have been if
by Morgan Ian Adams
After die events ofthe latter half
of last week, I have devised a newtheory similar to diat of Murfrfiy's
law (ifsomething can go wrong, it
will). My new theory is known as
the Adam(s) Principal, and basi-
cally it states that die amount of
good luck one has is directly prop-
ortional (rou^y at a ratio of one
to nine) to the amount of incredi-
ble bad luck one (actually, I) will
receive. My theory was proven af-
ter a fairly half dcx:ent week I washaving.
Thursday, after delivering
Coven, and noticing how well the
photos reproduced, I decided to
check out a Hawks game (a five
minute drive from school). I
started my beloved EKxlge Aires,
all 218,000 km of her, and for
some reason the engine light
stayed on. I figtired wires were
cn»8ed, as I had just put in a litre
of oil and all die other fluid levels
were just fine and dandy. On the
way, the car didn't feel like
accelerating and stalled when I
stq>ped. I get worried. This is just
before I have to pay the second
installment of a $700 insurance
bill for six months coverage. Onthe way back to school it does ex-
acdy the same thing, i don't trust it
to take me home, so I leave it at
school overnight.
This is where I have to slighdy
deviate from my narrative about
my beloved Dodge Aires to launch
into a tirade about die T.T.T.C(Toronto Torturous Transit Com-mission).
Last year, I rode that danm Wil-
son 96, back and forth, in all kinds
of weather, for an hour and a half,
each way. Friday, while my car
was sitting all alone in the silver
lot, I again rode the infamous Wil-
son %.
punishment
I have taken my beloved DodgeAires for granted. Again, feelings
of nausea, headaches, and die like
resulted finom my bus trip. I have
to question the State of Florida's
decision to execute Ted Bundy.They should have sent him to
Toronto to ride die transit. Fate
worse than death it is. Cruel and
unusual punishment it is. Let's
face it, Bundy got off pretty light.
Getting back to my beloved car
story, I straggle into school,
clutehing for my sanity after die
bus ride, and begin lookingthrough the yellow pages for a towtruck.
Here is where I again deviate to
heap criticism upon the tow truck
(^rators of the world. They are
metallic scavangers, modem dayvultures, swarming around the in-
jured and dead. You know,you've seen them on the 401 . Twocars in an accident and five towtrucks show up.
jubiiation
Going out to the car I see the /
trail of oil I had let the night be- /
fore. Looking under the car, I see/
the oil drilling rigs. I get the hint
that I may have a leak. Much curs-
ing and slamming of the car hood.
On top of that my father figures
the compression may be really
low, which means quite possibly a
new engine. Which means out ofmy financial capabilities.
I got the car to Canadiari Tire
and explained the problem. Thetrip cost $45. I walked hkck to
school, and the Great Wai^'for the
phone call began. An hqbr later
the mechanic phones. The leak is
fixed — great sigh of relief. It's
only the choke — even greater
sigh of relief. You can pick it uptomorrow— squeals of jubilation
(not over the phone). I wipe the
pail of sweat from my brow, con-
fident in die fact diat I shall havemy wheels a^ain soon. I don'teven mind riding the bus tonight.

St. Valentine's Day
From Pagan rites to candy heartsby Emdio Palumbo
With Valentiifie's Day less than
one week away, many Humberstudents are busily preparing for
the festive occasion. With this in
mind, let's examine the historical
ritual with its linkage to religion
and connotative association with
love.
The custom itselfwas borrowedfrom ancient Rome. On the fif-
teenjth ofeach month citizens cele-
brated a pagan festival of love
known as the Lupercalia, a nametaken from the Latin word*
'lupus," for wolf.
During the festival of Luperca-
lia, young women drew tiie namesof unattached gentlemen, whowould be their escorts for the year.
When the Christian churcheventually sanctified the festival
by associating it widi the name ofa saint, the names drawn by youngwomen would be those of saints.
Hence, young maidens wouldidolize the saints they chose until
the next St. Valentine's Day.Although early scholars refer to
three St. Valentines, it's believed
this day is devoted to a Romanpriest who was beheaded on Feb.
14, 270 A.D.In time, St. Valentine's Day be-
came associated with chivalry andlove. This may be because the
Norman word galantin (pro-nounced Valentin) refers to a lov-
er. On this day, young men pre-
sented gifts to the lady of dieir
choice.
In modem days, elaborate cards
with affectionate messages be-
came fashionable.
At one point, birds were drawninto the celebration. During the
medieval era, it was commonlybelieved by Europeans that birds
chose their mates through song onSt. Valentine's Day. ,
The signiflcance of St. Valen-tine's Day is slowly diminishing.
While Valentine cards are ex-
changed, flowers presented, andthe occasional greeting passed, its
celebration is left mainly to chil-
dren.
As mentioned earlier, loveplays a major part in the Valen-tine's Day proceedings. There are
five types of social love: theadoration an infant shows its
parent; the camaraderie displayed
by those within your peer group; a
parent's love for his or her infant
child; the love an older child feels
for a parent, and sexual love.
Sexual love, the emotion that
concerns most adults, encompas-ses both romantic and passionate
love.
This love involves someoneyou care about and wish to beclose to, according to Peter Diets-
che, a Humber psychology in-
structor.
*'If you love someone and that
person is upset, you feel responsi-
ble for that person. You cue for
that person, Dietsche says.
Romantic love is characterized
by sexual attraction, closeness,
possessiveness, and togetherness.
Yet this picture of happiness canbe misleading since all of the
above traits may lead to blind
adulation of the loved one, over-
locking certain defects in char-
acter.
In today's society it sometimesappears a passionate or romanticrelationship is one we should all
seek. This image is formulated in
our early teens where we associate
strong sexual urges witfi the per-
fect love. These ideas are en-hanced through television, adver-
tising, music, and cinema. Socie-
ty teaches the adolescent to search
for the perfect love.
Whatever the reason, beingloved is considered necessary to
our emotional and [rtiysical well-
being. These sentiments are ex-
press in Kendig and Button's
Ufe-Spcns, a book that attributes
feelings of loneliness and isolation
to shortened lives. People who are
single, widowed or divorced, the
book states, are far more likely to
die of a variety of ilhiesses than
those who are married.
"One can develop various
strategies in trying to cope without
love. Spend more time in your
work and so forth. I don't know if
there's any real substitute,"
Dietsche explains.
Witfi respect to fatal diseases,
the strain of being widowed or di-
vorced is one of the greatest con-
tributors to ^ath. The death rate
from heart disease, suicide,stroke, or cirrhosis of the liver is
twice as high for singles as those
who are married.
According to Life Spans, peo-ple need love simply to survive.

No evidence of drugabuse at Humber
CovM Thmndmy, Fcbnwiy f. 1989 Fm§t 9
by Karin Winzer
Colleges and universities have,at least since the sixties, been con-sidered testing grounds for illegal
alcohol. Bat th»r#»drugappear to be a few problems withthis theory, at least at HumberCollege, according to one coun-sellor at the school.
**We have had very few stu-
dents coming in with drug or alco-
hol problems," says PamelaMitchell, a counsellor at Humber.Two reasons for this, Mitchell
speculates, could be either that
students with more serious prob-lems drop out or students think
their drug or alcdiol use is not aIHX>blem.
She says some students doadmit to taking drugs on theweekend, but they do not considerit a problem.
A 1987 Addiction ResearchFoundation survey found that ofpeople 18 to 29 years old, 20 percent reported nuuijuana use in the
12 months prior to completing the
survey.
Since 1984 the use ofmarijuanahas declined by eight per centfrom 28 per cent, according to EdAdlaf, a scientist at the AddictionResearch Foundation.
However, Adlaf says the use ofcocaine in the same age group hasincreased by about seven per cent.
He adds the trend seems to indi-
cate a steady movement to in-
creased a^se, but he does notknow if the trend will continue.
Adlaf says drinking appears to
be the nuiin problem with 18 to 29year-olds. He says although onlysix per cent are daily drinkers, the
number of those who drink morethan five drinks at a sitting is 71per cent.
.He explains although daily
drinking is not a problem, quantity
of alcohol consumed is.
Mitchell says she has spoken to
more people with alcohol prob-
lems than those with drug prob-lems.
Mitchell says pec^le with alco-
hol problems tend to dn^ out if
the problem is disrupting their
academic work, or if not, die stu-
dents do not consider their drink-
ing a problem.
Mitchell adds that drinking,like taking drugs, seems to be aweekend occurence.
She says in some cases studentswith new-found freedom usedrugs and alcohol to test thelimitations of their freedom.Mary Carr, one of Humber's
health nurses, agrees withMitcheU.
She says that although themajority of students are statistical-
ly in die high risk group, the prob-lems seem to be concentrated in asmall group of individuals.
According to about 20 studentsquestioned, die incidence of drugabuse is relatively non-existent.
One third-year student's re-
sponse states "the only problemwith drugs is that there aren't anyat Humber."

Spare time legendsby John Hobel
TTiey bill themselves as trac legends in their spare time. The Awesome Wallin' Possums treated students to
their zany brand of rock during a lunchtime concert at Humber's lecture hall Wednesday Feb. 1
.
An endiusiastic audience filling three-quarters of the hall, listened to the Possums perform cover tunes by
Max Webster and Z.Z.Top. The group also served up unique versions old classics such as Rockin Robin.
The band was formed in May 1987, and consists of Derek Sharp, a second-year guitar student in Humber s
Music program, bassist Bob Sherwood and drummer Todd Reynolds. All three slwre vocal duties.
The group is as offbeat as their name. Sharp explains that they took their name from an episode of The
Beverly HiUbiilies.

Four more equals perfect seasonby Kevin Paterson
When you go to see a hockeygame at Westwood Arena these
days, it's not a question of if the
homeside will win, but how manygoals they'll beat their opponentsby.
The hockey Hawks lit up the
scoreboard last Saturday, as they
demolished the Algonquin Caats
16-4, to raise their record to 20-0
in league play.
record tied
The Hawks were once again led
by forward Steve Ewing, whoscored six goals, tying the Hum-ber record which was set by cur-
rent coach Dana Shutt. C2^>tain EdLjubicic also got into the act as headded four more in this one-sided
afTair.
Humber has now scored 198goals this season and witfi onlyfour games to go they are only 17
goals shy of tying the league re-
cord of 215, set by the 1974-75
Sheridan Bruins.
Although Ewing has been tear-
ing up the league of late, with 28goals in eight games, Shuttdoesn't believe he is playing anybetter than he did at the beginning
of the year.
'*The only thing that Steve is
doing differently now is playing
with two great hockey players,"
he said. "He's a great flnisher, but
you need the other two guys to
make a line."
Ewing also said that the six
goals were more of a team effort.
rather than an individual record.
''Everybody chipped in
tonight. It just seemed that every-
where I went somebody was set-
ting me up. I could have had 40-
goals tonight."
The Hawks led 5-7 after the
first, as forwards Ljubicic, MikeKelly and Shawn Tyers tallied to
go aJong with Ewing's two mar-kers.
Lostracco admitted that Ew-ing's aggressive style has given
the line a new look.
"Steve gives us a lot of room,'
'
said Lostracco. * 'He takes the manin the comer and I'm able to pick
up the loose puck. It makes it
easier for me and Shawn."
breakaway
Ewing completed his hat trick
on die power play, when he fir^ ashot over the shoulder of theAlgonquin goalie. Before thesecond period ended, Ewingscored one of the prettiest goals ofthe game, when he was f^ a per-
fect breakaway pass from Vaudry
.
Aldiough he said it was nice to
score the goals, Shutt said it wasmore important to concentrate ondie Sheridan victory rather than
this one.
"The Sheridan game is wherethe goals counted," he said. "Idiought our egos got a little big
tonight and our woiic ethic got too
small. It doesn't matter who youplay, if 20 guys don't show up to
play, you won't put in a good per-
formance."

Hawks on road to 24by Michael Kirkey
It wasn't a battle for first place
but it could have been a preview of
this year's OCAA final when the
Sheridan Bruins met up withnumber's Hawks last Thursday.
The teams played playoffcalibre hockey for60 minutes withthe Hawks coming up with die 7-5
win.
"If we get to the finals and if
they get to the finals, it's going to
be some of the best hockey ever
played in the last 10 years in this
league," Hawk coach Dana Shutt
predicted.
It's too bad all games weren't
like this one. The rivalry betweenthese two teams carried over into
the stands with a vocal contingent
from Sheridan in a verbal con-
frontation with the Hawk suf^r-ters.
The Hflwks trailed by twogoals, 5-3, with 10 minutes goneIn the third but were confident
they could rebound for the win or
as Hawk winger Cole Sefc put it:
"We were never down by twogoals, itjust looked like that on the
scorebosuxl."
The comeback began withHumber on a power play with 7:23
left in the thind and Hawk forward
Paul Jackson receiving the puck in
the slot. He let off a quick shot
which found its way into the meshbehind Bruin goalie SteveFrangos.
The Hawks had six attack^s onthe ice when the goal was scored
as number's goalie, Dave Sharpe,
was on the bench on a delayed
penalty call to the Bruins.
Fifty-eight seconds later with
Humber still on a power play Jack-
son fed the puck back to defence-
man Ken Rumble who promptly
fell flat on his face after firing a
shot between Frangos' legs to tie
the score at five.
The winning goal came on a
power play with 2:44 left to play,
when defenceman Chip Cran-dall's shot ftom the left point wasdeflected- twice before finding its
way by a shocked Frangos.
Another Hawk defenceman,Ron Lonsdale, iced the game with
an«mpty-net goal with 30 seconds
left.
Jackson, Rumble and MikeKelly rounded out the scoring for
Humber.The Hawks wouldn't have been
in position for the comeback if not
for the outstanding play of their
goalie, Shi^rpe, who held them in
die game while the Hawks weredown.
Jackson thought the Hawkshave to be intense every minute
they are on the ice from here on in
to reach their goals.
"Every game now and every
shift is a set up for the playoffs and
the Canadian finals," he said. "If
we want to be in the finals we have
to take every shift whether it's 17-
1 or 12-1 and we got to woric our
asses off and take it as a 0-0 tie.
"
The Hawks played another
game eariier in the week (Mon-
day) against Sir Sanford Fleming
of Lindsay and to no ones surprise
they blew out the Auks, 13-1.
Scoring for the Hawks wereSteve Ewing four times, Kelly and
Jackson with three each and EdLjubicic, Ray DeSouza and Sefc
getting one apiece.

by Kevin Paterson
Sparked by a swarming de-
fence, number's men's basketball
team improved their record to 9-2
last week, with an 86-68 win over
the Centennial Colts.
The game was no contest, as the
Hawks dominated in the offensive
and defensive zones all night.
Humber set the tone early, as
they built a 17-9 lead, thanks to an
U -point scoring run seven mi-
nutes into the h^f
.
Forwards (I!ohayne Sutherland
and Ainsworth Whyte were in-
strumental in the scoring outburst,
as the Hawks turned ti^ir steals
into five points.
Hawk head coach Mike Katz
said die team deserved die win.
"We did what we had to doearly," he said. "Right now,we're trying to upptottch every
game as a must-win situation.
This game was important because
it gives us some momentum going
into the weelcend games."
Things went from bad to worsefor the Colts, as Humber's TonyCarvalho and Wayne Wright hit
three-point shots to give theHawks a 39-13 lead at die 6:15
marie.
Before the half ended. Hawkforward Doug Lawrie addedanother three-point shot that in-
creased the lead to 46-16.
Lawrie, who scored 1 7 points in
the game, said the team's new de-
fensive philosq)hy was a key in
die victory.
"The last two games we'vebeen playing more like a team,"he said. "If we press the way wedid tcMiight, then we're unstopp-
able."
Widi Humber leading 56-29 at
die half, it enabled Katz to give
some ofhis substitutes some muchneeded playing tinne.
The second half started out ex-
acdy like the ftrst, with the Hawksforcing die Colts into some poorpassing and sliot selection.
Humber increased their lead to
70-41 at 13:05, as guard Earl
Moncrieffe hit back-to-backthree-point shots.
Katz said the team is comingtogether towards the end of the
season.
"We want to make our players
play at a pace that they're not used
to," he said. "Hopefully, we'll be
able to wear the other teams down
.
Since we're not a large team, weneed to create the tempo against
everybody we play."
Clentennial managed some self-
respect, as they're big centre
Michael Brown kept the gamefrom becoming a total laugher.
Brown led the Colts with 20points, while Sutherland potted 20for the Hawks.
The Hawks made a complete,sweep of dieir weekend road trip,
as they hammered St.Clair, 1 16-
74, on Friday and Fanshawe, 80-
74, on Saturday.

Volleyball women are playoff boundby George Guidoni
The women's volleyball team
learned a valuable lesson about
overconfldence last Wednesdayand with the playoffs just around
the corner, the timing couldn't
have been any better.
In a match that should havebeen a cakewalk, the Hawks sur-
vived a couple of scares before
putting away the lowly Geor^anGrizzlies 3-1 (15-10, 15-6, 4-15.
15-8) in the Gordon WraggCentre.
The Hawks began flirting with
disaster eariy, allowing the Geor-gian team to jump to an early 9-4
lead. Humber then found the formthat won them first place at the
Sheridan Invitational Tournamentover the previous weekend.Carmen Robert and Tricia
Geysens led an impressive com-eback allowing the opposition to
do little more than stand around
admiring the skills displayed bythe Hawks.With the score tied at 10,
Geysens served five straight to put
away the game.The Hawks' exhibition con-
tinued in the second set when they
rolled up a 10-1 lead and coasted
to a 15-6 win.
The second game was won so
easily that Hawk coach Don Mor-ton decided to sit out one of Hum-ber's most potent offensiveweapons, Pauline McGregor, fwthe third game.The result of this decision was
disastrous as the Grizzlies, finally
showing some offensive spark,
dominated the net throughout the
third set and won & deserving 15-4
game.The experiment was over in the
fourth game with McGregor beingput back into the match. The re-
vitalized Grizzlies put on stubbornresistance at some points of the

game, but the final outcome wasnever in doubt. With the score 12-
8, McGregor served three straight
to give the Hawks the match andraise the team's record to 8-4.
Morton refused to blame over-
confidence for the Hawks' incon-
sistent effort.
*'It was more a case of an emo-tional letdown. We just won a big
tournament during which we hadbeaten this team for the second
time this season," he said.
'*It's really hard to expect us to
come out witfi the level of intensi-
ty we have shown over the last
several games. Especially against
a team near the bottom of the
league."
The team wilf have to regain
that intensity to make up for the
loss of one of its better players.
Karen Moses, an excellent
spiker who played a large role in
the Hawks* recent success, is
leaving school. As a resuh, the
rest ofthe te^un will have to play at
the top of their game to maintain
their momentum in the drive for
the championship.
The men's volleyball Hawks,on the other hand, have a slim
chance to make the playoffs after
losing last Tuesday's match at
Centennial College 3-0 (lS-5, 15-
8. 15-10).
Humber went into the matchhoping to prove their recent im-
provement was no fluke.
Instead, they were served astinging reminder that they still
have a long way to go before they
can compete with the stronger
teams in the OCAA.
The defeat left coach PhilBrown at a loss to explain the col-
lapse.
"There is really nothing to sayexcc^ that our guys did not comethrouglv with the effort that I ex-
pected. Centennial came on widi amuch better game than I thoughtthey would," Brown said.
The loss leaves the Hawks witha must-win situation for tomor-row's match against Mohawk Col-lege in Hamilton. Mohawk is the
only team that the Hawks man-aged to beat all year.
